RE: .204 for elk....
Exactly!!!
Menu is set.
Firstnight in camp: Hamburgers over the camp fire. (Tired from setting up camp)
Daily Breakfast/Brunch varies little: Eggs (cooked to order), sausage, bacon, hash browns w/jalapenos&onions, biscuits, and gravy.
Second night (before opening day): CampFire Ribeyes, Shrimp and Tators baked in the coals.
3rd night: Smoked Brisket, baby back ribs and beans
4th night: Shrimp Etoufee, German Sausage and accoutrements
5th night: Spaghetti w/deer meat and bread
6th night: Deer meat stew
7th night: Elk Chili w/ all the fixins. Hopefully some fresh tenderloin on the fire by then too!!!
Usually bring homemade baked goods for deserts, but I try to also throw togethera camp prepared peach cobbler, time permitting.
Purchases of all non-perishable goods and those that require freezing have all been made.
Camp equipment all been checked. Trailers ready. Shop is full of clothing/gear containers. (Try to keep out of the house until a couple of weeks prior to departure. In the past that would start a month or more out and the house frau lost patience.)
Lets' go!!!!
